PATCH

Mission:
To support and improve the quality and availability of care for the young people of Hawaii. Results:
Government funding and contracts support some of PATCH's key programs and services. Government funding isn't enough to support all of our programs -- private funding and donations are making up the difference. So far, this year, fundraising efforts have been focused on a technology upgrade for our offices, as our previous system is defunct, and we are raising funds to support the rising needs of the lowest-income families, with programs to assist families to send their children to preschool, funding for extra training classes and recruitment services for child care professionals, funding for grants to child care business to purchase supplies and equipment, and more. Target demographics:
Families, children, child care professionals, and the community at large in Hawaii. Direct beneficiaries per year:
10,000+ Geographic areas served:
